joinery is functional. In the past the joinery was all made by hand. For
this it was kept relatively simple. With the present day machines it is
possible to make these joints faster and more accurate. Joinery made in
this way is decorative as well as functional.
With this in mind there were several ways to go. The idea lends itself for
different options such as child furniture with the joinery being a story,
a more technical approach where the joint itself is the instruction manual.
Or a subtle visual joy where the joints are beautiful and functional.
The result is a desk completely made with a CNC Router. With the joints
as the decorative element in it. The desk is designed to show the joinery
and give it prominent place, it is an example of how this idea of joinery
can be implemented in many different ways.
